Hey guys. So I recently got a TiAg E92 328i and am starting to notice how severe some of the cosmetic damage is. There are a few spots where the PO tried to touch up, but didn't end up looking too great. Other spots the owner obviously didn't take enough care in pulling in or out of a parking space where there was another car (see first pic). And the bottom stuff... I don't even know how that could've happened.

So basically I come to you guys with this question. Would it be worth it to repair/repaint the bumper or should I just get a brand new bumper altogether, have it painted and installed? I'm basically looking for the most cost efficient way to make it look like it's new again.

Also since we're on the topic, about how much would it cost to repair the bumper in its current condition? Would a repaint be more expensive than just having it repaired?

Thanks guys!

That's going to need a repaint. No detailer in the world will want to do that much work for anything cheaper than a repaint. Another option would be to find someone with an old silver one you can buy.

Don't need a new bumper, but it will require a repaint by a body shop. I'm guessing ~$500 and it will look like new...
